Okay, you know what? I actually made the effort to download That Episode of Bones, and I'm over it. Mostly because the only way that so-called reveal could have been any stupider is if Eric Millegan actually did jump over a shark on his motorcycle in the final moments. Fuck you, Bones. Just fuck you. Why did you have to go all weird? Why couldn't you stick with The Dave digging and hugging small children and shooting stuff, indispersed with Wacky Clown Violence and the occaisonal serial killer being dropped off a balcony? In fact, I would have totally tolerated a third season of The Wonderful World of Howard Eppes, complete with explosions and severed heads, if this was the alternative. And what happened to the Gravedigger? He was perfectly awesome and scary and didn't go around fucking shit up.


You know who I blame? Evil Cam. This is all her doing. This would never have happened on Daddy Goodman's watch. If anyone even thought about it, he would have glared at them sternly until they broke down and apologised. BRING BACK DADDY GOODMAN!


In other news, oh Carnivale, why are you so awesome? I was off work last week with a stomach virus and maybe it was delusions borne of excessive not eating, but it makes way more sense now than the first time I saw it. Although I still don't get why Lodz was in Russia, or had a dancing, man-eating bear. Or why Management had an old lady voice even though he was this double-hard Russian soldier and survived having his arms and legs and most of his face gnawed off by the Lodzbear. If he'd had the Sith Lord healthcare plan, Scutter would have been shit out of luck.


I totally stand by what I said about Jonesy having a big gay mancrush on Ben. That bit where Ben has to go rescue his dad from Stroud and Jonesy goes with him and Ben's all, "Dude! Stop looking at me!" and Libby's like, "Oh my God, you're married to me. Me! No, don't look at him with your big puppy-dog baseball playin' eyes! Get back here!" and then Rita-Sue is all, "tee-hee!" is just... awesome. Also, Stroud is awesome. "I've never actually killed a man with my bare hands before."/"It's fun, you'll like it." Felix is awesome too. It's all awesome. Except Burly, he's stupid and should die.


Other than that, I've not been up to much. The new GTA gane is hard and focuses too much on boring story and character development at the expense of explosions and setting stuff on fire, so that's disappointing. Genevieve has awakened me to the wonder of Phoenix Wright (bright? I don't know) and if law courts were actually like that, I might actually consider pursuing a career there. Anyway, now I want a Nintendo DS. Buy me one!


I went to that John Connolly thing a couple of weeks ago; it was fun but it was a long time ago and now I've forgotten most of it. Something about Terry Pratchett wearing a hat and something else about how if you get stabbed 93 times you must have really done something to deserve it, so serves you right. Anyway, I laughed and got my books signed, so it counts as good.


I met up with my mum in Liverpool over the weekend (which ties directly into why I now have the Intarwebs at home) and we went to see Evita. I've never seen it before, as it had Madonna and I thought it would be a boring love story. If someone had told me about all the explosions and military shennanigans, I would have checked it out sooner. Anyway, it was good, except about ten minutes into the second interval I started needing the loo, and we were right in the middle of the row so I couldn't get out. I made it to the end, but I was literally sat there during her deathbed scenes thinking "Hurry up and die, you stupid cow, I'm about to fucking wet myself!" And every time I thought it was over, Che would open his fat revolutionary mouth and jibb about something and I'd be like, "Die! Oh my God, someone kill them both and let it be over!"


The guitarist dude was hi-larious though, and the girl who plays Peron's creepily underage mistress had an amazing voice. I acgtually thought she was the best out of the whole cast.


Anyway, that's pretty much it. Work is still a nightmarish shithole - I think my ear infection is back and of course I can't have any more time off because I had the nerve to be sick last week - for the first time in nearly a year, I might add, so it's not like I call in sick for every little thing - and the customers are the usual blend of retards, self-important fuckheads, old people and people who can barely speak English. Sometimes they've even some exciting combination of the above. And by "exciting", what I actually mean is "so annoying I want to slit my own throat because it would suck less than listening to them".
